Shapeways, a Philips spinoff, has released a beta version of their online 3D printing service. Beta testers can upload their design on their website and they'll print your design in 3D, prices start at $50.
Have you ever wanted to turn your 3D designs into reality? Enter Shapeways! Just upload your design, we print it and ship it to you - it's easy. Within ten working days you'll hold your own design in your hands.

But that's not all - we're offering you everything you need to meet fellow 3D enthusiasts, share your work and find inspiration. We're using a technique called '3D Printing' which has proven itself as a high-quality production technique, but up to now has always been expensive. By creating a large community we are able to produce much cheaper, meaning better prices for you.
